    That appears to be spider mite damage. You will need to treat that immediately, as it will quickly spread and kill all plants nearby.

    You can treat at any time, unless you are using dormant oil. This will need to be done during dormancy.

    This is a fungal infection, likely brought about by excessive rains, or overwatering.

    I would recommend treating with a fungicide. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/avocado/avocado-tree-with-no-fruit.htm

    I would also recommend treating, once per year, with DOLOMITIC LIME and WETTABLE SULFUR. This will help keep the soil conditioned, as well as prevent soil infections in the future.

    Thank you so much! Yes, it pretty much rained everyday for the months of May and June here is WV. I will definitely treat the soil. Should I do it in fall when they have all died out or wait till early spring?

    That is the nature of the plant! Sweet Potato flowers will do the same, as they are related.

    There is a plant that is called "flower of an hour". It's blooms don't even last half a day. This is the nature of the plant. Morning glory flowers that last only a day sounds right. There should be numerous buds forming to replace the spent blooms and keep the color going. (The huge number of flowers, and therefore seed, that form in one growing season ensures you will never have to plant morning glory seeds again.) If you have few flowers, examine your fertilizing methods. Lots of nitrogen is good for leafy growth but this growth comes at the expense of flowers. Morning glory flowers best in full sun which means at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

    Unfortunately, your photo did not come through.

    Morning glories do not require fertilization, since they are very prolific. They are considered invasive and really shouldn't be fed. Usually, too much nitrogen will be the culprit. Unfortunately, adding a bloom booster will not correct the issue in this case, since they are sensitive to rich soils.

    When there are no blooms, it will be necessary to look at environmental conditions for this plant. Something like too much water, or overwet conditions will cause a lack of blooms, as will a lack of sun, although they bloom find in shade. Fungal infections, or bacterial infections can cause a lack of blooms as well.

    They will grow, no doubt. They are quite invasive. They will not flower, near as well, in a shady place, though. Still, you may get seeds even with environmental conditions working against you.

    If all else fails, you can grow one in a container, indoors, with the help of grow lights! This will ensure flowers and seeds for future plants.
